ASK Proxima Ovation 840 Series Projector Panels Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the fan come on when the power switch is off?

When the overhead projector is on and the panel is plugged in, but the power switch is off, the fan will continue to run. This keeps the panel cool. After the overhead projector is turned off, the fan in the panel will stop.

Cyclops has been calibrated and the mouse pointer follows the Cyclops pointer, so why can't I click on anything?

Bring up the panel menus, and check the Cyclops menu; Button should be set to LEFT. Also check in Windows, Control Panel, Mouse, to see if "Swap Left/Right Buttons" is checked. This option should be unchecked for Cyclops to function in Windows.
